right now, we're seeing a major test to the rule of law as federal judges continue blocking president trump's plans to overhaul the government. and a new social media post. trump claims that doge the department of government efficiency, found billions in waste and fraud. he then calls out activists and highly political judges who he says are slowing the momentum of his administration. over the past week, courts have moved to halt trump's efforts to end birthright citizenship, freeze federal funding cut government agencies and forcibly shrink the federal workforce. meantime, there are new questions about potential conflicts of interest at the justice department. as a number of officials who previously worked on trump related cases are now tasked with investigating those who tried to prosecute him. cnn's katelyn polantz and evan perez are here with their new reporting. caitlin, how is the trump administration responding to these court orders? >> well, they're fighting and

they're trying to appeal as fast as possible. but trump is complaining about judges coming in and essentially putting on pause things that the trump administration has done on many, many different fronts, policy fronts, his reductions to the federal workforce, his efforts to curtail funding. and the judges are saying, let's keep the status quo and just make sure that what the administration is doing here is legal. we don't know yet what the courts will ultimately decide. these are the things that could maybe even go to the supreme court. but one area, boris, that is really a third rail that has evolved in the last two days is judges piping up around health care. there was a nationwide injunction last night right before midnight, where a judge said, you can't cut federal funding to all of the research and academic groups and health care health system administrations across the country. that was something the

national institutes of health wanted to do. they wanted to reduce federal funding. that can't be done. and so that moved very quickly in court. and then just today we saw a judge say, hey, if the administration is taking down health care data from its websites, you can't do that. put that back up, because that's the sort of thing the judge says hurts everyday americans. and most acutely underprivileged americans seeking health care. so all of these cases are going to be moving forward in different ways. but the judges are stepping in quite quickly. >> yeah. to your point about health care, one of the doctors who provided testimony for one of these lawsuits argued that lives american lives would be lost as a result of these moves. what's next up for trump in court? >> well, what trump is going to want to do in court is argue with the justice department as the lawyers representing all the agencies in court, that the president should be able to do what he wants. he's the head of the executive branch. and they've even tried to say that a couple of times in court so far, that his actions shouldn't

be reviewable by court. and also he should have this power. we're going to hear that over and over again as the separation of powers fights continue. the other thing that's going to happen is trump politically is going to be out there and saying it's democratic states that are suing to stop these things, and it's democratic appointed judges in the federal system who are stopping my policies. although that's not true. there are judges, even ones appointed by trump himself, that have put a hold on things that he wanted to do. >> and evan, turning to this battle brewing at the department of justice, it's really interesting because there's this review by the doj of the fbi and these folks that worked on january 6th related cases. but some of the folks that actually at least one person i'm thinking of who helped prosecute those cases is now reviewing the work of the agents that he directed to prosecute them. >> right. i think a lot of the attention is focused on emil bove, who is the acting deputy attorney general. and, you know, with good reason. he is now one

of the more powerful, powerful people in this in the government. but, you know, he's not alone. pamela bondi was is obviously someone who filed a brief in a pro-trump case. you have todd blanche, who's about to become the deputy attorney general. john sauer the also and then ed martin, who is the acting u.s. attorney in d.c., who represented defendants in january 6th in the case of beauvais, though, there's a you know, i talked to some of his former colleagues who are very surprised at his role here, in part because, you know, after january 6th, he helped lead the effort in new york. he was a lawyer at the southern district of new york, and he pushed for agents and prosecutors to be involved in these cases, helped approve some of the legal process. so for him to now be part of this weaponization group that is reviewing these cases seems like a bit of a conflict of interest, or at least an appearance one. >> yeah, i highly doubt that his work on those january 6th cases is going to be reviewed as as part of this. and evan, we're learning that the new doj's

leadership, their relationship with trump has caused some tensions within the department. tell us about that. >> well, yeah, i mean, obviously they in some of the meetings behind the scenes, some of the people like beauvais, for instance, have raised that their orders are coming directly from people in the white house, people like stephen miller. and so you're now seeing congressional democrats are raising this. they're getting complaints from inside the justice department, which are lawyers and agents who are complaining, saying, you know, this is causing problems for the work that we're trying to do. >> evan and katelyn, thank you both. appreciate the reporting. we have a lot to talk about. let's get right to it with cnn's senior legal analyst elie honig. he's a former assistant u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york, also a former federal prosecutor. elie, thanks so much for being with us this afternoon. let's start with this weaponization working group. do you think those who worked on january 6th related cases have an obligation to recuse themselves from this

review effort? >> absolutely, yes, 100%. boris, if the law schools were looking for a chance to update the textbooks on recusal, this is it. i mean, you cannot first serve as a criminal defense attorney on a case as todd, blanche, emil bove john sauer, all of whom are now high ranking doj officials did for donald trump and then work on a group investigating the prosecution of that. the conflict of interest is so clear, i hardly need to spell it out. and by the way, if they do not recuse themselves, they're going to undermine whatever the ultimate findings are of this group. i mean, if this group comes back, as i suspect they will, and say there were all sorts of problems with the prosecution. well, you have the former defense lawyers who are running or overseeing that investigation. so the best thing for them to do in order to protect that investigation itself would be to recuse themselves. and by the way, evan had another piece of really interesting reporting right there that i want to comment on. i think it's a good sign that those same people i just mentioned, emil bove, are pushing back against the white house. they are correctly saying we should not be getting any

orders, any instructions from stephen miller or anybody at the white house. so i think what you're seeing there is some of their cny credentials kicking in, and they're rightly pushing back against having really any communication with the white house. >> as we noted a moment ago with caitlin, the courts are intervening to pause or block a number of the administration's efforts that would radically transform the federal government. and yesterday, a judge o'toole again extended the deadline for federal workers to accept this deferred resignation offer. i wonder how you see this playing out. >> well, i think that hold is likely to stay in place, potentially all the way up to the supreme court. whenever we're looking at these legal disputes over spending, can the president freeze or withhold spending? the first thing to start with is that's generally speaking, congress's power. it's article one of the constitution, the very first enumerated power given to congress is the power to tax and spend. now, that doesn't mean the president cannot do anything. there's times when congress builds in some discretion, builds in some wiggle room. so there are places

where the president can make spending decisions. but by and large, if we're talking about large scale spending decisions, are we going to pay 60,000 plus federal employees, seven months of benefits? right now? you're going to run into a real separation of powers problem, because that's fundamentally congress's power. >> it's also problematic because that's money that congress hasn't actually allocated yet. we're waiting for this showdown in march to figure out government spending. so it's unclear that these workers would actually wind up getting paid quickly. ellie, you have a piece out today on doj's push to drop the federal corruption case against the mayor of new york city, eric adams. what was your reaction? >> i want to make sure people understand just how unusual this is. i mean, this isn't unusual. this is something this isn't something that happens now and then. this is completely unprecedented. to have a case where new management comes into doj orders the s.d.n.y. my former office to dismiss a case that's already been indicted by a grand jury and offers zero

reason for it. the reason they they say this has nothing to do with the quality of the proof or the actual case against eric adams. the reasons that doj offers for this are preposterous. first, they just say, well, the whole case was political. they offer zero support for that. and then they say, well, you can't charge eric adams because he's busy being the mayor of new york city. take that logic. i mean, that would apply to ban any indictment of any public official from president to dogcatcher, ever. so this is a major problem. i think it's an injustice, obviously, with respect to eric adams. but i also think it forebodes worse things to come. >> yeah, it was really surprising. elie honig appreciate you joining us. thanks. >> thanks, marci. >> republicans appear to be in lockstep with donald trump as he moves to overhaul the federal government. we had house speaker mike johnson pointing to the super bowl as a measure of just how popular the president is. listen to this. >> as you saw when when they put his image up on the jumbotron, the place went crazy. there was a lot of excitement and

enthusiasm about president trump and about, i would say, the house republicans in congress. we were cheered on bourbon street. you know, there's there's something happening out there. >> behind the scenes, though, we're told that some republican lawmakers are growing concerned about trump's attempt to assert congress. and they're beginning to take action, testing the waters for what? a new era of pushback in a second trump term might look like. we're joined now by cnn's harry enten. harry, thanks so much for being with us. speaker johnson sees enthusiasm based on folks cheering at the super bowl and on bourbon street. but some republican lawmakers are fielding this deluge of calls from constituents who are worried. what have you seen in the numbers about how voters are really feeling about these executive orders, and the idea that trump might just ignore the courts? >> yeah, boris, there's first off, let's just say there was a lot in that introduction. my goodness gracious and a whole lot. and everything just feels very unusual these days. but you

know, you you're talking about these executive orders, right. so i want to you know, there are some that are popular, but i want to point out a few that the american people are against, and also that the u.s. courts have said, hold on, wait a second. let's see exactly where we are right now. so again, some of trump's executive orders look at this ending birthright citizenship, 59%. the overwhelming majority of americans are against it. how about temporarily freezing federal funding on u.s. services? again, the clear majority, 62%. more than 3/5 of the country is against it. and more than that, about a third of republicans are against both of these. so even the republican party, while most republicans are form there's a sizable minority who are against these different policies. now, of course, what about the idea that trump might just say, you know what, screw the courts. i'm not sure that that would be the most shocking thing to the american public. why don't i think it would be the most shocking thing to the american public? because the pew research center asked, okay, does trump respect u.s.

democratic values? get this only 31%. less than a third of all americans say yes. they're quite confident. compare that to get this, the majority who say they're not confident and this 31% for us this includes get this just 60% of republicans. so there are a number of executive orders that the courts have stopped that americans, simply put, don't want put into action. but i don't think it would be that shocking to americans that trump might be a little bit on listening to the courts. >> harry, how popular is trump right now? >> yeah. okay. so you see all this stuff and you might say to yourself, well, trump can't be that popular. and then of course, you listen to the speaker who apparently believes that donald trump is the most popular thing since betty white. and then we might actually look at the polling data and say, okay, how popular is donald trump, actually? all right. let's take a look at trump's net approval rating on february 11th, which i believe is today. you go back to 2017. donald

trump was underwater at minus five points on your approval, minus disapproval. he's considerably more popular now. he's actually on the positive side of the ledger. he's at plus four points, which might not necessarily be so hot for other presidents, but it's quite hot for donald trump because he has been on the positive side of the net approval ledger more days in his second term so far, which is just over three weeks. then the entire first term, boris., not quite betty white, who was universally beloved by both parties and everybody. >> republicans, though harry, are arguing that trump is following through on campaign promises. would you say that is what he's doing? >> yes, i would say absolutely. that's at least what the american people believe. trump's doing what he promised. get this. 70% of americans say yes, he is. compare that to april of 2017, his first term. it was just 46%. so i think that is a big reason why trump is more popular now than he was in his first term, because a lot more americans believe he's

actually following through. on what he promised mr. sanchez. >> mr. harry enten always appreciate the time. thanks for being with us. thank you. that's to come. president trump says the u.s. has the authority to take over gaza, demanding that hamas release israeli hostages by noon on saturday. or else we'll talk about what else came out of his meeting with jordan's king abdullah. plus, elon musk rejected the reason the founder of chatgpt says he will not accept a multibillion dollar offer from the world's richest man. and yet another deadly air disaster. some dramatic new video to share with you that shows the moment a private jet owned by the front man of motley crue slams into a parked plane in arizona. we'll be right back. >> lockerbie premieres sunday at nine on cnn. >> tempur-pedic designed the ergo pro smart base to help you

>> the president is also reiterating his redevelopment proposals for gaza and relocation of the more than 2 million people who live there. >> we're not going to buy anything. we're going to have it and we're going to keep it, and we're going to make sure that there's going to be peace and there's not going to be any problem, and nobody's going to question it. and we're going to run it very properly. and eventually we'll have economic development at a very large scale, maybe the largest scale on that site. and we'll have lots of good things built there, including hotels and office buildings and housing and other things. and we'll make that site into what it should be. >> mr. president, take it. under what authority? it is sovereign territory. >> under the u.s. authority with us now to discuss retired army major general james spider marks and lead global security analyst for the washington post, intelligence josh rogan, thank you both for being with us. >> josh, i was struck not just by those comments from president trump, but also king abdullah

seemingly being open to hearing what a deal involving egypt, saudi arabia, jordan and the u.s. might look like to effectively remove those 2 million people in gaza. do you think there's anything that trump could actually offer in a deal that might persuade him? no uh. >> there's no prospect of 2 million palestinians leaving gaza because they won't go, because it's their land, because they live there, and they've been there for generations. and short of forcing them out, that's the the deal is dead. as disco. and if we were to try to force them out, that would be a war crime. that's ethnic cleansing. so that's not a good option either. and the idea that president trump would sit there with the king of jordan and sort of, you know, talk casually about how palestinians don't want to live in gaza is just bizarre because it's not true.

and king abdullah has no choice, really, but to sit there and pretend as if it's not the craziest idea he's ever heard. because what else is he going to do? what is he going to do? is tell president trump to his face that he doesn't understand the region. he doesn't understand the context. he doesn't understand the history. he doesn't understand the people. and it's not going to happen. the arab states won't take them. so he's got to play along and sort of go, hum, hum and get through the meeting. but no, this is a deeply flawed idea that's deeply damaging because it places america in the position of forcibly displacing 2 million people and that radicalizes the region and harms our security and has shattered the cease fire. and, you know, already had a destabilizing effect on the region. >> spider, i'm curious to get your thoughts on josh's argument and specifically the part about removing these 2 million people without needing u.s. troops to

be involved or without, in his words, buying the territory. trump has argued that these folks would leave voluntarily if they were persuaded by better housing, essentially. is that at all a realistic scenario? >> well, you know, i think the way to look at this is you either take this president seriously or you take him literally. i can't imagine in placing u.s. soldiers in gaza, marine soldiers, air support. et cetera. naval forces coming ashore, facilitating the logistics that are necessary. the removal of 2 million folks or whatever remains forcibly either into egypt, you know, the south end of gaza or across the border. and getting them into jordan is not a likely scenario. um, and i again, i can't get into the president's head, but if there is some type of a temporary solution and displacement, then a return at

some point, i mean, that could possibly take place. but the interregnum between departure and return would be quite considerable, i think. so i don't see that there would be. there's a legitimate reason based again, on what you've heard the president say, and then what you think he really means is putting a bunch of u.s. service members on the ground in gaza to create this end state. >> i should point out, trump was asked whether he believes that if palestinians were to leave and gaza were to be rebuilt, whether they had a right to go back, and he actually said that he did not believe that they would have that right. josh, i want to pick out something you said when you described king abdullah as essentially sitting there and being hum throughout the meeting, because he has to. trump today said that he does not believe that he has to threaten to withhold aid to get jordan and egypt to accept some sort of deal, even though he has done that in the past. that's

essentially why abdullah is hum about this, right? because what would happen to the middle east if the u.s. were to stop giving aid to jordan and egypt? >> right. so trump is threatening to further destabilize the region unless the arab states agree to destabilize the region further. right. that's the that's the deal where he might not destabilize their countries as long as they agree to destabilize their countries by taking millions of refugees against their will. you know, it's it's so crazy. and it's so, you know, ignorant and really cruel when you think about it. because you know what? he's humiliating our allies. and what what the the king of jordan he's supposed to do. he can't say what he's thinking. you know what he's thinking? he's thinking, that's crazy. that's not going to happen. how do i get out of this? and so what he said was, okay, well, the egyptians are going to come up with a plan, so they'll come up with some sort of, you know, face saving measure that they hope trump will swallow in order to just make the whole thing go

away. and maybe they'll do that, you know, like the canadians and the mexicans will come up with some stuff he can put out. but the damage is already done. even if they come up with some something to make trump happy enough that he agrees not to threaten them to destabilize their country and perform an ethnic cleansing, there's already a lot of damage done by this. not to mention that the cease fire that trump says he wants peace is now going to be shattered, and trump seems to be totally fine with that. and what happens to the hostages, including six americans, now that there'll be no cease fire and more war? so it's just a disaster. it's kind of a it's a disgrace. boris is what it is. and you know, the king of jordan. yeah. he's stuck, you know. what's he supposed to say? but we can say the truth, which is that this is a a crazy and horrible idea that won't happen and is really counterproductive and and cruel. >> general, i wonder when trump says that all bets are off if hamas doesn't hand over hostages on saturday and you hear netanyahu, netanyahu sort of echo those comments, what is

a cessation of the cease fire mean if they're going to resume hostilities? how do you see that playing out? >> well, there are several things that have to be understood. number one is legitimately when the president says all hell will break loose. as a military planner, you have to go back without being flippant. you go, mr. president, you got to define hell for me. um, you know, what is the objective? what does this look like? and if you don't give me options, then i'll bring those options to you in order to accomplish that task. so it requires that level of of definition and that level of clarity. so you can do a troop to task, kind of an analysis to figure out what needs to be applied to achieve that desired end state. and i think essentially there are two options. you either resume the fighting, and i think it's fair to say that both hamas and the idf want the war to continue. they are not where they want to be. the idf wants to either destroy or defeat two different end states, either destroy or

defeat hamas. and hamas wants to continue to fight so that they can regenerate themselves and continue to recruit. so i think that's that's one thing. and then so the fighting could continue. and of course, it you know, if it was an option to go back earlier to get those remaining hostages, that decision would have been made in the fight earlier. so i think that becomes very difficult. then the second option is you expand, you expand it, and you make the decision reside in tehran and you make it very, very difficult on a very weakened leadership in tehran. and maybe the idf starts going after additional targets in tehran in order to get them to apply some additional pressure on hamas to put an end to this thing. but let's bear in mind hamas continues to fight, israel continues. the israelis continue to fight based on conditions that are on the ground, that we are not necessarily a part of. so that's what's that's what i see as the options going forward.

>> josh, i know you want to jump in, but we're we're out of time and we have to leave the conversation there. we should pick it up soon, though. uh, major general james spider marks and josh rogan, appreciate you both. >> thanks, boris. >> thanks. still ahead, ethics experts sound the alarm as the world's richest man goes after an agency created to protect consumers. is it a conflict of interest? we'll discuss. >> touches of black. they say a lot without having to say much. they stand for elegance, refinement and prestige. even a little can go a long way. and though they're darker than the darkest night, they make you see everything in a new light. get 1.9% apr for up to 60 months on the purchase of select new 2025 sportage and 2025 sorento

and these two have been going at it for years. and you could see in that interview that sam altman was trying to be very diplomatic to talk about how he wants this to just play out in the boardroom. but then at the end, he couldn't resist calling elon musk insecure. and meanwhile, elon musk has called sam altman a swindler. he called him scam altman. he said he's a snake. these two do not like each other. >> and what about this accusation from altman that he thinks that with this offer, musk is just trying to slow openai down? is that musk's goal here? do you think? >> like a lot of things, elon musk does, it creates a lot of tension, and it seems to be kind of crazy on the surface. but also there's a logic to it because right now openai is in talks to have a valuation of $300 billion and to spin off its

nonprofit arm into a for profit entity. and this bid by elon musk, whether it goes through or not, makes that a lot more difficult. >> i also want to ask you about of musk's effort to transform the federal government. he has his eyes set on the consumer financial protection bureau, the cfpb. he has business interests that they regulate. do you think this is part of why he's posting that on x, saying that they should rest in peace? >> well, if you were an employee of the consumer protection bureau, you would not be allowed to own tesla stock. and yet you have the owner of tesla trying to control the agency. so of course, this is a huge conflict of interest, especially when elon musk is trying to turn x into a payment system, which is exactly what the consumer protection bureau was designed to regulate in the aftermath of the great recession.

>> yeah, it's an important connection to keep in mind there. is there anything congress can do to provide oversight or accountability into this territory with doge? that's at the very least, ethically murky. >> well, only congress has the power to actually get rid of the agency. remember, congress was the one that started it. so this is going to be something that's decided by courts. but clearly, donald trump and elon musk have the power to muzzle the agency, which they've already done. >> ben bergman, appreciate the time. thanks for joining us. >> thanks so much. >> coming up as two planes arrive in venezuela carrying dozens of migrants deported from the united states, some of donald trump's own venezuelan supporters fear they could be on an upcoming deportation flight to south america. we'll discuss some new reporting in just moments. >> honey. but the gains are pumping.

covered this story for the washington post. she is also the duchess of hialeah, florida. sabrina, thank you, as always, for being with us. you spoke to several venezuelans who fled the communist dictatorship, who received temporary asylum here in the united states. they're supporters of donald trump. they may have not voted for him, but they are vocal supporters who went to rallies and wore the t shirts, et cetera. and now they've had their asylum status canceled, and they're afraid that they're going to get deported. what did they share with you? >> i mean, boris, this is. >> a community that. >> you and i know very well. it neighbors are beloved. hialeah. doral, florida. it also is the backyard of one of donald trump's golf courses and resorts. a lot of people in this community are taken off guard. i mean, there's a lot of fear. there's a lot of confusion. there's a lot of outrage right now in doral, florida. this is a community that's about 40% roughly from venezuela. and they supported trump so vocally. and they didn't think that when he was talking about immigration, when he was talking about, you know, the mass deportations that

he was talking about them, he thought, you know, he's talking about aragua. he's talking specifically about, you know, this scary venezuelan gang that has come, you know, that people are coming into the united states. he's talking about cracking down on criminals, sending them back. a lot of them were very supportive of that, but now they're seeing, oh, wait, we had legal status. we had, you know, work permits, a shield from deportation. we did it. the air quotes right way by applying and doing background checks. and now he's gone and revoked that. and where does that leave us? >> yeah, the argument from the trump administration is that the entire tps program has been abused and therefore is illegitimate. you also heard from folks that told you that this had strained their family relations. like people were very angry at each other within families over this. >> oh, 100%. i mean, well, as you noted, tps recipients are not u.s. citizens. they cannot vote. many of them, yes, did support donald trump. they posted on social media about it. they went to his rallies in

south florida, but they had family members who could vote. and one example was this family. i met this this young woman, andrea. her husband is a u.s. citizen. he voted for vice president kamala harris. and now he's been sort of taunting her dad, who is a big trump supporter and tps recipient, saying, you know, voted for donald trump. y ahora te va a voter, you know, saying you wanted to vote for donald trump, and now he's trying to kick you out of the country. so it certainly prompted a lot of lively conversations within families. >> yeah, i can tell you that. i've actually had friends reach out to me. supporters of donald trump from hialeah, our home town, who asked me to connect them with lawmakers in south florida because in one instance, a young lady's boyfriend has lost tps, and now she's concerned that he's going to get deported. i wonder now that they're facing this crisis, if you think the politics of this changes with these folks, because obviously donald trump

made a lot of inroads with hispanic voters, most notably perhaps in miami-dade county, which flipped to republicans, flipped red for the first time since like 40 years. >> and look, i think this is a question, though. what are democrats going to do with this? are they going to seize this opportunity? i think it's actually been noticeable in the last few weeks that this is happening in south florida. while i was reporting this, you don't hear very much from democrats. i mean, of course, the city is now run largely by republican lawmakers and republican leadership, but you're not hearing very much from democrats on this subject. so it does seem to be a missed opportunity. and i will say, in addition to that, i mean, you know, a lot of people are talking a lot of harris supporters are looking at these situations saying, well, they voted for this. now they deserve this. and i think that while yes, of course, there are people frustrated with the outcome of this, there is sort of that question of donald trump did talk all the time about the maduro regime. he did talk about the politics, how he was going to fight socialism, how he was going to be the person to take maduro out of power. so a lot of people really bought into that

belief that, okay, he is the person that understands the same as, you know, cubans as well. there are several communities that have been fighting against authoritarian regimes that want to see a change in their home country, and they bought into trump making that promise. so i think a lot of people are reckoning with he's been talking about this for years, and now is he actually going to do that? because it seems like instead he's negotiating to get them to accept deportations, right. >> the generational trauma, as you know, sabrina is thick. sabrina rodriguez, thank you so much for your reporting. appreciate it. the duchess of hialeah, there is new video showing the moment a private jet crashed into a parked plane at an arizona airport. up next, there are some critical clues that could be in this footage. we'll discuss in just moments. >> kenner to support your brain health. >> mary. janet. hey, eddie. >> no! frasier. frank. frank. fred. how are you? fred? support up to. >> seven brain health. >> indicators, including memory. when you need to remember. remember, nariva.
